Now I no longer have to feel bad about using propriety lrf. Or feel like I can get locked in. A big deal for me ... it's a particular pain since I've decided that lrf looks a little better on my 505 (I like the headers), and it's a little faster.

Kovid - much obliged. Enough to put my money where my mouth is, something I'll have to continue since Calibre is excellent software.

When I converted books for my mother's Sony, I didn't think to keep the original files--which means all of her books are in lrf. I worried about what might happen if someday Sony decided to stop producing ebook readers (or ditched lrf for them). Now I don't have to worry, because I can convert those lrf files to ePub!

I've begun converting most of my LRFs over and it seems to be working so far! The files I've checked over have, anyway; a few seem to get stuck and when I check 8 minutes later they're still going...

They'll stay in LRF, I think!

I've had them get stuck before, sometimes when I'm converting individually or sometimes while batch. I'm not sure why they get stuck, but if I try to convert them again, they tend to convert in the normal amount of time. Just saying you might want to give those books a second go.
